I really enjoyed this book, there are a number characters and their stories, which in some books would make it hard to follow; however this book is very well written and so is easy to keep track of everyone. The characters are very believable and the plot is strong. I found myself becoming really drawn into this book. A great read.

One sentence summary: first world problems with a dash of deus ex machina. One teen gets knocked up, but hey, the boss is rich, so he'll solve all your problems...

Not worth the time, at all. Annoying and stupid characters, illogical and plainly banal things happening, and nothing that justifies the book being about 400 pages long.
I don't know what I thought going into this book, but dang it, if I'd known it would be this bad... Would've been a relaxing read if the characters' ignorance wouldn't have irritated the living daylight out of me.

By the way, at the end of the book, the weirdest problem pops up. On the night of Susie giving birth, the weather's really awful. They can't get her to go to the hospital, because the roads are flooded. However, Jack, Gina and Malcolm seem to have reached The Sycamores without any real issue, haven't they???? Stupid and uncreative plottwist to get all of the important characters to stay put.

I didn't think I'd be interested in this kind of book but it proved me wrong when I started to read it.I was so drawn into it that i finished the 506 pages in two days

It's an enjoyable read for anybody that enjoys a bit of Drama,Romance and more than enough surprises.

I'll be on the look out for more books by this author, hopefully they'll be as enjoyable as this one.

I really enjoyed reading Shaken and Stirred. A sweet engaging story, in ture Irish warmth.
I must say i loved Gina, and felt bitterly sorry for Dough married to Pamela who i just wanted to smack.

In fact i enjoyed it so much i went out today and brought two more titles from Colette Caddle.

Mixture of LOVE, FRIENDSHIP & WORK!

An engaging story about how five colleagues in an advertising office react as the threat of business rivalry looms.
